Never driven one, but have ridden in several, mostly back in the 1970s. Front wheel drive, very unusual at that time. It was a sounder car than what my first wife's first car in the 1960s and early 1970s: a Fiat 500 from the early 1960s. The Fiat 500 was a "city" car, smaller than the 2CV which was designed as a "farm" car and was a bit larger.

Growing up we had a trike style tractor with a hand clutch and metal seat, no cushion. Probably like that. twodogsbarking Feb 2024 #8
